My friends Josh and Tyler.   Two young Caddy guys up in Nova Scotia.   

I was starting to get worried that young people were not into old cars until I met these guys.   Both are 26 years old.

These are their "new" cars.



Josh also has a 1966 Sedan Deville, a 1964 Fleetwood series 75 Limousine and a 71 Buick Riviera.

Tyler has a 1975 Eldorado coupe and a 91 Lincoln Town car.

And it runs in the family,  Joshs' brother has a 1976 Fleetwood Brougham.

These guys have restored my faith in the future of the hobby.

Sami, I might visit, but certainly wouldn't move there. Holy cow that's high. And a PC tax.

Could this be a, shall we say, a interest held by those that didn't grow up and live in the USA?  American iron has always been a interest with our friends around the globe.

There is definitely interest in American cars with younger people outside the US. 

But I don't consider Canada to fall into that category for that reason.   US cars are sold there and these cars are part of their history just as much as they are for us.

Whereas in Europe or Asia our American cars stick out amongst their smaller, less distinctive everyday cars.

I would even go so far to say that our friends to the North, might even be more interested in "our" cars, since many American manufacturers have factories in Canada, including present day Cadillac XTS, made in Oshawa, Ontario.

My son really love old cars. His favorite the 57 Cad. I do not need to worry about who will care my cars when I died.
